QSPI is a kind of spi module that allows single, +dual and quad read access to external spi devices. The module +has a memory mapped interface which provide direct interface +for accessing data form external spi devices. + +The one QSPI in the device is primarily intended for fast booting +from Quad SPI flash devices. + +Usecase +------- + +MLO/u-boot.img will be flashed from SD/MMC to the flash device +using serial flash erase and write commands. Then, switch settings +will be changed to qspi boot. Then, the ROM code will read MLO +from the predefined location in the flash, where it was flashed and +execute it after storing it in SDRAM. Then, the MLO will read +u-boot.img from flash and execute it from SDRAM. + +SPI mode +------- +SPI mode uses mtd spi framework for transfer and reception of data. +Can be used in: +1. Normal mode: use single pin for transfers +2. Dual Mode: use two pins for transfers. +3. Quad mode: use four pin for transfer + +Memory mapped read mode +----------------------- +In this, SPI controller is configured using configuration port and then +controler is switched to memory mapped port for data read. + +Driver +------ +drivers/qspi/ti_qspi.c + - Newly created file which is responsible for configuring the + qspi controller and also for providing the low level api which + is responsible for transferring the datas from host controller + to flash device and vice versa. + +Testing +------- +A seperated file named README.dra_qspi_test has been created which gives all the +details about the commands required to test qspi at u-boot level. |
